PA Environmental Council Accepting Applications For Artist-In-Residency Program Focused On Susquehanna River Water Trails; March 11 Online Q/A

The PA Environmental Council is now accepting applications for a new artist-in-residency program focused on watersheds. Applications are due March 31.

Reflections through Art: Inclusive Access on Water Trails in the Susquehanna Basin aims to cultivate connections to the waterways and their remarkable recreation opportunities.

PEC is seeking three artists interested in connecting diverse community audiences to Pennsylvania Water Trails in the Susquehanna Basin and the remarkable recreation opportunities on those trails through creative, experiential, interactive, and exploratory engagement.

We are looking to showcase unique ways to reconnect the people of central Pennsylvania to their local waterways and to the rich cultural, historic, and recreational assets of the Susquehanna.

Artists accepted to the program will complete a 21-day residency in one of three areas in the Susquehanna River basin.

Their projects will engage the local community and culminate in a public showcase of their work.

The artist will be expected to interact with the local community and Water Trail partner to explore ways to reimagine water recreation and environmental stewardship and conservation.

PEC will provide an $8,600 stipend to each selected artist, which can be used by the artist for costs incurred during the three-week residency.

Online Q/A

PEC will host an online Q&A about the residency on Tuesday, March 11 starting at 11:00 a.m.

To register, email Tali MacArthur at tmacarthur@pecpa.org with “Request for RFP Zoom Link” in the subject line no later than Monday, March 10 at Noon.

Visit PEC’s Reflections Through Art webpage for all the details.
